so… i’m just supposed to guess what Jesus was like instead of using thousands of years of chuch teaching and scripture that christianity is about forgiveness?

if you seriously think all catholics are pedos, you have legitimately lost the ability to think critically.

the catholic church doesn’t have a different rate of abuse than any other institution where adults are around kids. the rate isn’t higher the issue was that officials kept thinking they could deal with things on their own.

you can fight pedophilia. it doesn’t change the fact that Christ is Lord.

i can’t tell if you’re messing with me, but it’s really ok i’m used to people trying to twist my words.

it would be *incredibly* difficult to fake an election. much easier that a large proportion of the population is very ignorant.

i don’t think it’s a sole determinant of anything, but it’s a simple way of describing the pruning process. you can of course change your synapses as you age, i would never deny this.

ah, i see now. there are two large waves of pruning. i just assumed we were talking about the pubescent wave.

i am confused though because i was taught that the brain was large not due to lack of pruning but due to overgrowth.

i wasn’t saying pruning is responsible for behaviors. i was saying that the broader process that occurs during adolescence is heavily impacted by the idea of “use it or lose it” and where habits can have a huge impact on what stays and what goes.

i thought OP was trying to describe the process of pruning that takes place in adolescence. my understanding is that brain overgrowth at 2 in autistic children is a separate phenomenon to massive pruning which occurs during adolescence in all people but differently in autistics.

please do not paint us all with the same broad brush
November 23, 2024 at 9:45 AM
sure, it would also hold true for adults with higher support needs. i meant that shes not referring to autistic adults moving to a coastal city or something.
November 23, 2024 at 9:44 AM
oh, i think i see where the confusion is. OP is talking about missing children, not adults who elope or move or something. OP is talking literally about children falling into bodies of water and need rescuing to prevent drowning.

i could look for it! i just learned it in a class i took on autism for a degree in behavioral science 😅
November 23, 2024 at 9:16 AM
yes, i think it’s multifactorial. i think a fair bit of it is just genes controlling pruning (i mean just look at early brain overgrowth which is unrelated to behavior). but i mean i do think behavior could reinforce this in adolescence as well possibly 🤷‍♀️ (i just don’t know haha)
November 23, 2024 at 8:25 AM
i think this is what she’s talking about.
November 23, 2024 at 8:17 AM
interesting! ill check him out thank you 😃
November 23, 2024 at 8:06 AM
no sorry i don’t know who that is
November 23, 2024 at 7:56 AM
i just don’t want to assume i have a perfect understanding of scripture or church teaching and lead people astray. thats all 🤷‍♀️
November 23, 2024 at 7:51 AM
oops sorry to correct the first sentence *i dont think most nazis would ask for forgiveness

i’m an insomniac my bad 😅
November 23, 2024 at 7:50 AM
obviously, i think the latter is the more likely scenario based on history.
November 23, 2024 at 7:49 AM
i never said most active nazis were possible. i was responding to someone asking what Jesus would do. my response was that they’d be forgiven if they asked, but if they were an active nazi, defensive violence may be best to save innocent people.
November 23, 2024 at 7:49 AM
i think you’re just assuming that we have more control over what gets pruned vs what doesn’t. autistic people probably don’t go along with social norms as much because they are less incentivized by social rewards compared to allistic peers. i don’t know why this is neurologically.
